Yes, well, thank you for that Captain Anonymouse Obvious.

Please select a good primary physician, get references on surgeons and seek second opinions on any advice regarding surgery.

Yes, well, thank you for that Captain Anonymouse Obvious. now the Medical Expert, I suppose.

For PT, make sure your surgeon remains actively involved in evaluating both the program and your progress.

Yes, well, thank you for that Captain Anonymouse Obvious.

Any further questions? Don't ask them here. See your doctors.

Hmm, does this mean we can ignore your medical advice?

Well I hope you don't mind if I ask the non-medical expert a question . What can I do to avoid getting a sore arm this year? Pitching has brought about feelings of a tear in my bicep. It started 4 years ago, and has been getting progressively worse ever since. Advil does the trick, but I'm wondering if its effects will eventually wear off. I can throw about 40 pitches before tearing up my bicep, but then be fine to come back and pitch the next day. Nonetheless, something isn't right. Any tips or suggestions?

First, you must sign a disclaimer that you will not sue me for my lack of expertise. I'l have Deej send it over.

We have a throwing program that has worked vry well, shoot me an email or Deej and I will send it to you. It's too long to post and I can't stand the ridicule. After you get it, send it to anyone you want except Garth.

FYI
Throwing in the cold is a no-no; keep covered up if you have to
If the prolem is entirely in the muscle, then good news
If at the ends, not good news (attaches to bone)
Advil good, Aleve better - better anti-inflammatory which is what is happeneing ot the muscle (inflames, goes away, inflamed, repeat)
This injury is chronic once it starts
Sharppain, bad news; aching good news

Truth - unless something comes up on an MRI, muscle strains like this are a beeyatch; rest will be the numero uno and mucho anti-inflamms and then a very moderated throwing retunr VERY MODERATED like 10-15 tosses up to 50 over weeks not days.
